I have been trying to come to terms with the fact that my nice, comfortable adulthood that I scraped and clawed to arrange for myself after a disaster childhood is just not going to happen - we are at war against fascists, like the whole world is from time to time.
I'm going to count myself fortunate that I'm not one of the people with their heads in the sand, and be grateful that I won't have to look back at this wartime and say "Oops, I should have done more!"
Hey did you know βIraqβ is not synonymous with war & destruction? #Iraq is #Mesopotamia. The cradle of civilisations. It gave us the first known writings, first poet & first known laws of humanity. Also more recently some of the kindest people I know and the best βistikanβ of tea π€
Getting a lot of questions so to clean up confusionβhereβs how to respond when someone wishes you βRamadan Mubarakβ:
β’Ramadan Mubarak to you too!
β’Ramadan Kareem!
β’Khair Mubarak!
β’Happy Ramadan!
β’I will buy you tacos after Ramadan ends!
So if you were unsure how to reply, youβre welcome.π May you all have a blessed and happy month full of peace and service to all humanity. Amen. β€οΈ

I wrote this song about feeling that I don't belong anywhere, even in close friendships I often feel misunderstood or partly seem, even though my friends are amazing still I often feel alone. I don't know exactly why, maybe it's my neurodiversity, but this song is more from a spiritual place in a way. Listen if you'd like, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Of course, this is only a very rough demo (phone recorded). It's called Find Me π

@Miriamm @ScottSoCal Conferences like this typically book stuff at least a couple of years ahead, so I assume they were locked in before DeSantis decided to pave his White House run on the bodies of the LGBTQ+ community. Itβs unlikely Disney would let them change venues without paying through the nose, assuming there was even another venue available.
At least thatβs my hope. :/
I don't do sun tanning or fake tan spray or whatever because I don't care how 'pale' I am..
Many people in the West are willing to get cancer for a ''better look"
Guess what. That "better look" is made up by us and it's bullshit
please, stop talking people down who look 'pale' since they simple don't wanna get skin cancer
It's super annoying, if I'm sick ill tell you. Don't ask because I look natural and not like a baked potato
I eventually tracked these folks down and sent them a nice high-rez version of the photo. I hope they liked it. #photography

π€ Want to reduce abortions? Have full sex education and give kids contraceptives free of charge/shame. That's been shown to do the trick.
Of course, that's not what the GOP is about. They just like spouting off and not doing anything actually useful to the people of this country.
The real paradox of the press is that they have two choices:
1. An open protocol for which they can report on news on their own terms
2. A proprietary platform where press inquiries are answered with π©
And they opt for the 2nd option!
#ukraine #for heavens, Sake, just give Ukraine everything it needs to stop and win this war. Problem of escalation my ass. Isnβt the world just sick of watching the Ukrainians fight this courageous fight and we just trickle equipment to them as we see fit. We are allowing defence, not offence. I as a citizen of the human race demand that you arseholes in power do the right thing for a change.
